How I am sustainable

I am Made to Order which means I am made only after an order is placed, ensuring every item has a purpose.

How to care for me

I was collected from Mumbai markets rather than being newly made, so my exact fabric composition is unknown. Care for me sustainably with hand wash, line drying and cool iron. I can also be machine washed and dry cleaned if I don't come with embroidery or embellishments that might be affected.

How I fit

I'm made from light and silky flowing fabric. There is usually only one of me, in my specific print and In case of garments I come in limited sizes only. Please search by size to find the best fit for you. See our size guide.

About my shipping & returns

I will be shipped to you within 24–48 hours of you placing the order. I will be delivered by DHL or FedEx, which typically takes 4–5 business days.

If you choose Eco Shipping, I will be shipped via Aramex and delivered in approximately 10–12 business days, using a slower, lower-impact shipping method.

You may be levied taxes/customs duty at the time of delivery in certain countries. We collect VAT at checkout for EU orders < €150. To know more click here

Since I am made with care by artisans, rather than coming from a factory, I cannot be returned on a whim. However, if I am damaged in any way, please email us at shop@iwasasari.com and the team will help you.
